Time went by super fast for the size: than you Alexx!

This is not my first tattoo, but it is my first tattoo here in Reno. The relationship and trust you build in an artist is a tricky one. You entrust them with something important, precious, to you. I have had the rest of my work done by one artist but that artist is now in New York. As I can't run off to NY every time my heart tugs me to a tattoo, I wanted to develop trust in someone locally. Nes came quite highly recommended from a coworker who has black and grey tattoos also. I am not a person who seeks a colorful tattoo. I want clean lines and black and grey. This tattoo was important as it is a memorial piece. I sought Nes out and dropped by the shop on a random saturday afternoon. He and I spoke briefly, I explained my idea and he agreed. I booked an appt for a little over 1 month later. A few days previous to the appointment I dropped the bow tie off (the real one) that the tattoo would be based on. The day I arrived I was quite anxious. The emotional weight of the tattoo and the concern over the trust in an artist I haven't used before both raging inside me. Nes immediately set me at ease. He smiled. Welcomed me over to his section. Asked me a few questions and then set to work sketching it out. He laid the stencil and I was overjoyed. He asked me the story behind the tattoo and I explained as I fought back the tears. He set the needle to my skin and we both never looked back. He worked meticulously for 2 hours on a piece that is about 5/6" x 3". His touch is light handed and made the tattoo experience easy. The pain was quite minimal and the conversation excellent. At the end I stood up, took a look in the mirror and cried. I glanced back to see tears streaming from my wives face as well. The lines are clean and perfect. The shading is gorgeous. Overall, thanks go to Nes for his impeccable talent and care. He knew what this meant to me and he made every detail perfect. I will return to Nes and I will trust him with the things that matter most to me.

I came to this shop on the recommendation of a friend who got some excellent work done by Nichole…read moreat this shop. I had an idea for a tattoo that represents my mom and decided that I should try her out, tell her my ideas, and see if I could book a future appointment. I went on Wednesday and asked for Nichole. It was her day off so I talked to the other artist (and I believe shop owner) Nelson. We talked about my idea for the tattoo, and how I was still thinking about placement. I have over 50 hours of work that's covered easily by clothes. I was thinking about placing it in a place that would be hard to cover and he said that he didn't think that was a good idea. We talked about placement ideas in regards to my other tattoos, and my ideas for future work in general. After talking to him for about 30 minutes and looking over his work I was completely sold. This guy is as legit as they come! He had an appointment available later in the day, and I was open so we decided there was no time like the present for a new piece of artwork. When I arrived at 3pm everything was set up and ready to go. 70s rock was playing (of course) and before starting he made it a point to go through each piece of equipment to show his sanitation standards. He is one of the cleanest artists I've ever been to. We went straight to work after that. He outlined with a 5 needle. The smallest needle I've ever had used on me. I'm not an outline girl so it was unpleasant, but it made beautiful, sharp, fine lines. He made me feel 1000% comfortable the whole time. The whole thing took 40-45 minutes. One of my fastest and most detail oriented tattoos! Nelson really makes you feel like he cares about you and his work the whole time! I'm very very happy with my experience there and will ABSOLUTELY go to Nelson again!

The owner Doug, and a few of the artists in the shop that day were Ali and Bre. They were all super helpful making sure that the artwork I wanted was perfect.

Ali has an amazing hand, very light handed compared to any other tattoo I have ever received. I will absolutely make the 8 Hour Dr. to go back multiple times to see Ali,Doug and the rest of the crew.

I talked with Art, the proprietor, and asked him questions about his experience (18 years), looked at his portfolios and talked to him about design ideas. His tattoo style leans toward black and grey realism. He really gave me the confidence in his abilities after our first meeting. The shop is clean and the lobby is great to chill. I made my first appointment and got started on big rib piece. We just finished the third session and I can tell you Art delivers on his word. The design is what I wanted, shading is spot on, the line work is clean and precise, and placement is perfect. I'm pretty sure I found my go to shop for this style. He does other styles too but my focus was on black and grey. I recommend bringing a couple small pillows if you're going to be lying down for a few hours though. And the music is bomb. Always playing my jam!
